Global Payments Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

Reaffirms Outlook for 2022

Signs Letter of Intent with Caixabank for Card Issuing Technologies

Reports Progress On Strategic Review of Netspend Consumer Business

Exits Russian Business

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

"The resilience of our business continued through the first quarter of 2022 with performance exceeding our expectations despite incremental macro headwinds throughout the period," said Jeff Sloan, Chief Executive Officer. "We are especially pleased with the results for our Merchant Solutions business, which again demonstrated ongoing momentum as our strategies for differentiated growth continue to win in the marketplace.”

Sloan continued, "We are delighted to announce that Caixabank has now signed a letter of intent memorializing Global Payments as its technology partner for its card issuing businesses following our selection as the finalist company early in 2022. This is the largest new customer LOI for our Issuer Solutions business since 2013 and would more than double our implementation pipeline, providing opportunities for accelerated growth over the next several years. In conjunction with recent wins with a debit focus, our partnership with Caixabank positions Global Payments as a leading debit technology provider across Europe.

“We also continue to make progress on refining our portfolio mix by simplifying the composition of our businesses and maintaining our focus on our core corporate customers. First, we are pleased to report that we have made progress with the strategic review of the Netspend consumer business that we announced this past February.”

Sloan concluded, “Second, in regards to the exit of our Russian business, this has been a difficult time for our team members, customers and partners across the region and especially in Ukraine. We have provided financial and humanitarian support to those impacted.”

First Quarter 2022 Summary

  • GAAP revenues were $2.16 billion, compared to $1.99 billion in the first quarter of 2021; diluted earnings per share were $0.87 compared to $0.66 in the prior year; and operating margin was 17.4% compared to 13.8% in the prior year.
  • Adjusted net revenues increased 8% to $1.95 billion, compared to $1.81 billion in the first quarter of 2021.
  • Adjusted earnings per share increased 14% to $2.07, compared to $1.82 in the first quarter of 2021.
  • Adjusted operating margin of 41.1% expanded 50 basis points.

2022 Outlook

“We are pleased with our strong financial performance in the first quarter, which exceeded our expectations despite the ongoing impacts of the pandemic, incremental headwinds from the war in Europe and adverse foreign currency exchange rates,” said Paul Todd, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We achieved high-single-digit adjusted net revenue growth, adjusted operating margin expansion and mid-teens adjusted earnings per share growth driven by consistent execution of our technology-enabled strategy.

“For 2022, the company continues to expect adjusted net revenue to be in a range of $8.42 billion to $8.50 billion, reflecting growth of 9% to 10% (10% to 11% on a constant currency basis) over 2021, and adjusted earnings per share to be in a range of $9.45 to $9.67, reflecting growth of 16% to 19% (17% to 20% on a constant currency basis) over 2021. We are raising our expectation for annual adjusted operating margin for 2022 to expand by up to 125 basis points (up to 175 basis points excluding acquisitions), an increase from the prior outlook of up to 100 basis points (up to 150 basis points excluding acquisitions).”

Todd concluded, “This outlook presumes continuing recovery from the pandemic worldwide and a stable global macroeconomic environment throughout 2022.”

(1)

 

Represents adjustments to revenues for gross-up related payments (included in operating expenses) associated with certain lines of business to reflect economic benefits to the company. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, net revenue adjustments include $3.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, to eliminate the effect of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments for software-related contract liabilities associated with acquired businesses.

 

(2)

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, earnings adjustments to operating income included $329.2 million in cost of services (COS) and $93.7 million in selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). Adjustments to COS represent amortization of acquired intangibles of $329.0 million and other items of $0.2 million. Adjustments to SG&A include share-based compensation expense of $38.4 million, acquisition and integration expenses of $51.0 million and other items of $4.3 million.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, earnings adjustments to operating income included $329.2 million in COS and $128.9 million in SG&A expenses. Adjustments to COS represent amortization of acquired intangibles of $329.2 million. Adjustments to SG&A include share-based compensation expense of $37.2 million and acquisition and integration expenses of $91.7 million. Net income attributable to Global Payments also reflects the removal of $6.3 million of equity method investment earnings from our interest in a private equity investment fund.

 

(3)

 

Income taxes on adjustments reflect the tax effect of earnings adjustments to income before income taxes. The tax rate used in determining the tax impact of earnings adjustments is either the jurisdictional statutory rate in effect at the time of the adjustment or the jurisdictional expected annual effective tax rate for the period, depending on the nature and timing of the adjustment.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Global Payments supplements revenues, income, operating income, operating margin and EPS determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP by providing these measures with certain adjustments (such measures being non-GAAP financial measures) in this document to assist with evaluating our performance. In addition to GAAP measures, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to focus on the factors the company believes are pertinent to the daily management of our operations. Management believes adjusted net revenue more closely reflects the economic benefits to the company's core business and allows for better comparisons with industry peers. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with other metrics, to set goals for and measure the performance of the business and to determine incentive compensation. Adjusted net revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, revenues, operating income, net income and EPS determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures reflect management's judgment of particular items, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted net revenue excludes gross-up related payments associated with certain lines of business to reflect economic benefits to the company. On a GAAP basis, these payments are presented gross in both revenues and operating expenses. Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS exclude acquisition-related amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration expense and certain other items specific to each reporting period as more fully described in the accompanying reconciliations in Schedules 6 and 7. Adjusted operating margin is derived by dividing adjusted operating income by adjusted net revenue. Adjusted net revenue and adjusted EPS range on a constant currency basis excludes the estimated impact of foreign currency fluctuations and is calculated using average exchange rates during 2021. Adjusted EPS for 2022 excludes the impact of any impairment losses. The tax rate used in determining the income tax impact of earnings adjustments is either the jurisdictional statutory rate in effect at the time of the adjustment or the jurisdictional expected annual effective tax rate for the period, depending on the nature and timing of the adjustment.
